e GENERAL WoLsELEY, in an article
in Macmillan's Magazine on Robert E.
Lee, the confederate general, has this to
say: eff he had not been controlled by
the political leaders of the Confederacy,
Gen. Lee would have captured Wash
ington after the battle Of Bull Run. He
was the greatest American of the CEN
fury, and is worthy of an equal pedestal
with Washington amongst the worlds
great generals. He was a most perfect
gentleman, of State celebrated for
chivalry. just, gentle, generous, where
else in history is there great man
whose whole life was record of duty
so nobly done?'' While we do not al
together agree with Lord Wolseley on
this point we are glad to be able to re-
cord that there has at last been found

Every Journalist, true to himself

dorse the following admirable senti-
ments uttered by Justice Fenner in

and the vocation of an editor as
merely mercenary, perhaps we might
maintain the contention Of respond.
emit and treat the injury to relator a
simple question of profit and loss, to
be adjusted by pecuniary compensa-
ton. But surely newspapers have
some objects higher than mere money
making. As operated in modern
times, they are something more than
mere advertising mediums, or pur-
veyors Of news. They are organs Of
public opinion, instructors Of the
people, advocates Of certain fixed
policies and principles, the promotion
Of which must CRAFTY tho intellectual
and moral desires of their prcprietors,
even If they do not in al cases ad-
vance their pecuniary interests. We
might well conceive that, though Of
Tered ample pecuniary Inducements
to advocate principles or causes which
they disbeleve, or to abstain from
advocating those which they approve,
worthy journalists would reject such
propositions with the scorn which
they deserve We must apply the
same rule TO che editor Of . newgpa-
Per. he, too, must be treated a. a
man who has principles and convic-
tions, . sense Of public duty, . devo-
ton to the interests Of his people, a.
he understands them, and we must
assume that, in executing the func-
tions Of his high calling, he sets q
value upon the advancement of such
objects far above any mere pecuniary
reward

4 Contrast.
Democrxtic Conventions Of 1870
and 1888.
In the State: Democratic Conven-
ton of 1876, General Nichols, after
several ballots, was nominated for
Governor, over L. A. Witt, and i'm
nediteiy the second place on the
ticket was offered to the latter, and
he was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor by exclamation. In fact,
Nichols and Witt were, by aceAama-
ton, nominated to their places on the
ticket in one motion, after it had been
demonstrated that Nichols was the
choice Of that Convention for Cover
nor.
L. A. Wiltz accepted the second
place, when he had failed to obtain
the first, ranks were closed, the lead
srs and rank and file dropt into line,
closed ranks touched elbows, and
harmoniously, compactly and enthu-
siastically marched forward, under
the leadership Of Nichols and Wilt,
10 the ever memorable victory which
redeemed Louisiana from Radicalism
and misrule.

er State Convention Of the De,mocrs.

SOLDIERS HOME.
An Obligation TIA state Incurred
in Sending Her sons 40 War.

The Minnesota department of the Grand
Army of the Republic at its last eucampment
appointed committee to present to your
body the subject of the establishment of Il
home for disabled, INDECENT veterans resd-
ing in the State" and of temporary provision
for the relief of such veterans as might not
wish to become occupants of i soldiers home
l desire to supplement the appeal of that
committee by the expression of an earnest
hope that the necessary appropriation will be
made by your body to carry out the objects
specified. There is no obligation more sacred
or binding upon the people of this country
than that ample provision should be made for
the care and comfort in their declining years
Of the veterans of the late war, who from lis
ability or misfortune become needy or de-
pendent. The adjutant general in his report
cites cases of disabled settlers who are now
cared for in some Of our county poor houses
This is a discredit to the honor and patriotism
Of Minnesota. 1t is unworthy of the proud
record these veterans made for our state dur
ing the war. The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie asks not for Il charity for their comrades.
but rather for the discharge of an obligation
the state incurred when she sent her sons 10
the front to risk their all in defense of the
republic. Their efforts and sacrifices secured
TO the country that peace and prosperity
which is the present heritage of US all, and
the obliSationis ours that in their last days
they may be made to realize in fullest meas
ure that their services are remembered with
gratitude by their couDtrymcn. The homes
provided by the general government are al
ready overcrowded. and many of the states
have established soldiers homes or otherwise
made provision for their disabled veterans.
Minnesota should not be laggard in the per
Torrance Of so grave duty. With view of
aiding you in the consideration of this sub
iect, | have obtained from several of the
states such printed matter rs could be sup
piled relating 10 the establishment and man
agement Of their soldiers homes which is
herewith transmitted for your information.
The condition of the state finances may not
warrant the purchase of grounds and the
erection Of buildings at the present time, but
there should be no delay in provision for
temporary aid. Our experience in the case
Of soldiers orphans furnishes hint of the
means by which her funds may be applied t.
furnish immediate and sufficient relief with
tbA nast possible waste in administration.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.
important IL ON IN nd tions as to
memding the Statutes.

Inc attorney general makes several i'm
portant recommendations respecting amend
menus 10 existing statutes. | would particu-
larl 3caH your attention to his reference to
sectiou 10, ute l, OF chapter 81 of the gen
eral statutes, and 10 recent decision of the SUI
preuie court constituting the same.ThiS section
relateS 10 the mode and manner by which a
fallroau company may acquire its right of
way through lands belonging to the state In
the case of the Northern PacEhc Railway
Company VS.. The University of Minnesota, it
was hell oy the court that town lots belong
ing 10 OF aeld in trust for the state univer-
Slty, put MT set apart or occupied for public
purposes. might be acquired by condemna-
ton proceedings as in the case of lands of
private persons or corporations. In this
connection the attorney general remarks I:
I'm view OF the fact that the property OF the
university Is the properly of the state, and
consequently could not be taken without eX-
press Legislative authority, and in view of
the TACT that in the clause found in section
10 supra, there is nothing limiting the right
TO take the class OF property referred TO-
to property not devoted to public USE lis
decision would seem 10 place all the lands of
the state, however occupied, at the mercy of
any railroad enterprise passing near the
same" This statement of the attorney gen.
eral Will be ~ fcient to indicate to you the
Importance or so amending the statute that it
may by explicit language, be limited to the
lands granted by congress to the state to en-
doW the university, for the benefit of schools,
for purposes of internal impro gement and
lands OF that character.
With the object Of forcing the old land
grant railroad companies. whose roads have
been Sold but which kept up tleir organza-
lions for the sole purpose OF holding their
landS exempt from taxation, to dispose of
such lands and thus place them in the tax
lists, the attorney general commenced pro-
ceedings against five of these companies in
the supreme court to forfeit their charters.
In Two OF these eases such a conveyance of
the lands was made by agreement, as de-
stroJed their immunity from taxation. One
case was decided adversely to the state, but
the others have very recently been adjudged
in its favor. This action will result in large
additions to the tax lists of several of the
counties OF the state and in more equitable
distribution Of the burdens OF taxation. The
attorney general has successfully prosecuted
claim for an increase of taxes due from the
Northern Pacific Railway company, which
under the judgment OF the court will add
$40, l54.49 to the revenues of the state for the
current year. In all these proceedings the
attorney general has manifested that industry,
energy and ability that has peculiarly signal
lied the administration OF his department
throughout the term Of his incumbency of
the Office.

WORLDS EXpOsITION.
The Part = inuesota Took in the
| Great New Orleans show

transmit herewith com nuuication from
Oliver Gibbs, Jr., state commissioner at the
worlds Exposition in 1885 respecting his re-
port OF our state collective and collateral
competitive exhibits in the exposition. As is
generally known, Minnesota presented Il
most complete and comprehensive collective
exhibit OF Der products, arts, industries and
resources at the exposition, ard in the COM
petitlve departments received the highest
awards for her display of dairy products tin
cludln. the grand sweepstakes for the best
butter made in the WORLD, wheat, corn, flour,
fruits, seeds, amber cane sugar, poultry, etc,
and the grand diploma of honor for her
educational exhibit. The commissioner was
instructed to make report in full detail of
our exhibits for publication. The main por-
ton of his report was ready months ago but
its completion has been delayed by causes
which he fully explains. In the meantime
the commissioner haS,removed from the state,
but Is still ready to finish his work
when the lacking material is supplied.
As the commissioner remarks, 1.-The
effort to represent Minnesota at
the only worlds exposition in which she ever
TOOK part was too great. top successful and
too costly to have no enduring record maze
of it. Ever" citizen is proud of the sue
cesses and the distinction won by Minnesota,
and desires thar she should realize to the ut
most their possible benefits. This may not
be done if q record thereof is not preserved.
l would therefore recommend an apprOpria-
ton of $1,000, to be expended under the d.
rcction of the governor of the state, to meet
SUCH expense as may be incurred by the COM
missioner i'll completing and properly illus
trating his report, and that its publication be
ordered in the usual way. Vouchers for III.

REFoR ri SCHOOL.
Much to Commend iu the Manage
ment of the FnstitufiOn.

The reform school had under its care, July
81, 19l inmates. During the two years there
were committed to the institution 1GS, aud
discharged So. The expenses of maintenance
were $29.457-03 for 1885 and S32. 564. 62 for
1886. as appears from the report OF the board
OF managers. Forty thousand dollars for eX
penses and 1000 for repairs per annum, are
the estimates for the next two years. There
little TO criticise and much to commend in the
management of this institution. If it maintains
III the future record consistent with its
past history it will not fall short OF a full ac-
compliShment of its mission. Additional ac-
commodations are required at this institu
ton, but before appropriations are made for
the purpose Of increasing them, 1 would sug-
gest the ACCESSIBILITY of change of location
The growth of population in the vicinity of
the school has detracting influence upon its
inmates, which is likely to develop into q Sc
rious hindrance to IT'S successful manage
ment. The property the institution occupies
has become very valuable and could doubt
less be sold for Il sum sufficient to purchase
au eligible site elsewhere, and erect thereon
suita Die buildings sufficient for its use for
several years to come.

PUBLIC HEALTH.
Pertinent Remarks Upon Cholera
aud tIeuro. pneUnnonia.

The functions of the state and local boards
of health were materially enlarged ana their
efficiency correSpOndingly increased by the
legislation of 1885 respecting the control of
infectious diseases Of animals the reguIa
lion of offensive trades, the supervision of
sources Of water supply, and the act reOrgan-
1zing and defining the duties of local boards
The state board have now effected a very
thorough sanitary organization throughout
the state, and through its efficient eXecvtiue
officers. Dr.. c. n Hewitt, keeps watchful
eye upon every township. Through the
agency of the 1060 local boards. prompt in
formation is received Of the presence of any
epidemic or infectious disease in any quart er
among men or animals, and equally promp t
measures are applied for its isolation and
suppression. The value and Importance Of
such organization has been repeatedly
demonstrated in the successful management
by the board through its agency of several
outbreaks of smallpox and diphtheria in
widely separated districts, and Of particu-
larly aggravated outbreak of CHAMBERS in
horses in 1885.
The board has adopted elaborate precau-
tionary measures to protect the herds OF the
state against pleuro-pneumonia, which has
recently developed to an alarming extent
among cattle in states to the south and east
OF US. The danger OF a spread of the infec-
ton to Minnesota is regarded as remote, but
in the event of its appearance here most en-
ergetic measures for its quarantine and eX-
tirpation have been prepared.
Doubtless the most valuable service per-
formed by our boards Of health is in the line
OF preventive work. They seek. by the adOp-
ton of Il thorough system Of sanitation in
our cities aud towns, careful scrutiny Of
sources OF water supply and their protection
from pollution, the imposition of proper
regulations and restraints upon offensive
trades and employmcnts, and kindred meas
ures, to preserve the public health by the
prevention of disease. The value OF Shis
character of woriI can not be measured by
results, but its benefits are beng uncOnsci-
ousIy realized by every inhabitant of this
state.
A careful collation. of the vital statistics of
the state would prove Of great value TO our
boards of health as well as the general public.
AS now collected they are practically worth
less for any purpose, as they bear no pre-
tense of accuracy whatever. I would. there
fore, renew my recommendation ma lie to
your predecessors, that the collection of
such statistics be placed by law i'll charge of
the state board of health.
As the danger of the appearance of cholera
in this country has not wholly passed, l
recommend renewal OF the contingent ap-
preparation made in 1855, TO meet expenses
arising from such an enc geacy.
The accommodation Of the state board Of
health respecting amendments to the statutes
will doubtless receive your early examination
and approval.
